Elizabeth S. "Lizzie" Grubman (born January 30, 1971) is an American publicist who gained notoriety for committing a felony crime. She is the daughter of multi-millionaire entertainment lawyer, Allen Grubman, and his wife, the late Yvette Grubman. She has one sibling, a younger sister, Jennifer.
Grubman was well-known as a publicist and "fixer" for celebrities. The 2005 reality show PoweR Girls from MTV centers around a group of young publicists, working for Grubman's PR firm. The title is a reference to a 1998 cover story in New York magazine, that profiled Grubman and several of her rivals. By the time the article was published, according to New York magazine, "Lizzie was clearly the most powerful girl of all."
In July 2001 Grubman drove her SUV into a crowd of people outside a Long Island nightclub, injuring 16 people. After being asked by security guards to remove her father's leased Mercedes from a fire lane, she backed the vehicle into the crowd, apparently in a fit of anger. She fled the scene, and was later charged in a 26-count indictment, for felony crimes including assault, driving while intoxicated, and reckless endangerment, but escaped long-term imprisonment by a plea bargain. Grubman had been facing up to eight years in prison, but only served several months. She is married to Chris Stern and gave birth to their first child, a son, in December 2006.
Her mother, Yvette, who had been suffering from multiple sclerosis for many years, died of ovarian cancer.
